Hello all,

The fact you are reading this is a good start so thank you already. As you probably know I am cycling to Paris at the end of September covering 325km over 3 days. I am doing this in aid of the wonderful Marie Curie Cancer, who do absolutely amazing work. I have met some of their representatives and really believe in the work they do, so all donations will be hugely appreciated.

I begin this challenge on the 27th September and am already in training, getting ready to tackle all the hills and the long days of cycling. I had previously done next to no cycling, so it will definitely be a challenge. Any tips from experienced cyclists are very welcome.

Here is the JustGiving blurb bit, though I am sure most of you know the process: 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
